18 projects? '18 ways to keep you happy in your sewing room' is a more fitting title for this book. The projects are delightful - here are just a few:

I want one of those pincushions so bad, but I had to look through the other book before I made my decision...

It was then that I spotted this sewing machine cover in the midst of the 50 sewing projects:

I need one! I have been quilting for 10 years (the anniversary is this May - stay tuned for weekly giveaways!), and my Bernina is [sort of] covered with one of my first quilt tops which was never finished. Yikes! Off to work I went, plowing through my stash. A couple of hours later... ta-da!

Fat quarters, ric-rac, batting, fusible web, and matching threads for the machine applique - it is all it took.

When I printed the template for the tree applique, I saw on the same page the cat silhouette. Aw... I have been missing my cats lately - Jamie passed away three years ago and Sapphire died 4 months ago. I imagined them looking up the tree, perhaps watching a bird. Both of them loved to keep me company in my studio while I worked. Now, I will always have them there with me!

Denise, Thanks for sharing in the blog hop (The best for last) and the machine cover. It's so nice to meet you. Oh how I need another cover , or two:) I'm missing one of my kitties too, as she always sat on my sewing machine cover when I took it off, and watched me stitch. Thank you so much for your inspiration. /s/Diane
